Northern Ireland teen handed dream chance to follow Conor Bradley's lead as he inks Liverpool scholarship deal
Every year, Liverpool finalise a fresh intake of first-year scholars as young players step up from the Under-16s to Under-18s football.
Moran has been part of the Northern Ireland Under-17 squad, working under the Irish FA's Director of Elite Player Development Andy Waterworth along with Kris Lindsay and Gareth McAuley.
He will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Northern Ireland international Conor Bradley, who agreed a four-year deal keeping him at the Premier League winners until the summer of 2029.
Bradley came through the ranks at Liverpool after joining from Dungannon Swifts in 2019.
Moran was handed his scholarship deal alongside several other Liverpool young guns, with Anfield legend Kenny Dalglish and head coach Arne Slot present.
